Pain at the area where the band of tissue referred to as the plantar fascia on the bottom of the foot inserts into the heel bone. Too much tension brings on pain. Wearing flat shoes or going barefoot on hard surfaces can be some of the causes that bring this pain. Do not let it linger too long. Can last for months. Pain mostly when standing up after sitting or sleeping.

See a Podiatrist:
I suggest you see a podiatrist for an evaluation. You may or may not have numbness due to plantar fasciitis.

Surgery is also very successful if all of these fail.
